Our aim is not simply to create new artistic forms, but to think critically about how technology impacts our world and how we live in it. Because newer technologies dont carry with them a tradition, they can be a ripe field for bold experimentation and highly original concepts, for example, virtual reality can be used to create hybrids of cinema, art installation, and game experiences. The digital skill set you gain in digital media courses is flexible, adaptable, and generalizednot just a mastery of the specific tools we have today, but an ability to translate those skills to the software and hardware that will exist in the future. While our focus is making individualistic statements in fine art, these skills and concepts are also applicable to commercial media production contexts.
